Pyramid Lake outing

may 2-7, 2023

The outing this year had 13 club members.  At times, fishing was spotty and then would get hotter at times as the fish moved around.  All members caught fish!   We tried fishing many different places and Pelican Point was the place we focused on to catch fish this year.
​Food was good and it was agreed that we should do it again next year.

                            Who Are Russian River Fly Fishers? 
People of all ages who enjoy fly fishing, located in Sonoma County, California.  The club's roots go back to the summer of 1976 in Norm Sutcliffe's sporting goods store in downtown Santa Rosa.
        Activities:
  • The Club offers outings throughout the year to various nearby locations (click on "Club Calendar & Trip Signups").  Outings offer good fellowship and a chance to learn and share fishing experiences.  
  • The Club's fly casting pond (100'x 180' x 18") was dedicated in May of 1986.  Club members meet at the pond to practice and to offer free instruction to those wanting to improve their casting skills.  The pond, open to the public, is one of only four public ponds in the state.  
  • Club meetings in Santa Rosa offer fly tying, member fishing reports and discussion, a great raffle, and a featured guest speaker who is often a well known angler.
  • Additional activities include a monthly women's group outing, fly tying meeting, day fisher group outing and an annual Cioppino Dinner Fundraiser. 

    Primary Objectives of the club:
  • To advance, promote, practice and teach the art of angling with artificial flies.
  • To encourage the members and fisher persons everywhere to practice the high standards of sportsmanship long associated with fly fishing.
  • To promote conservation and protection of wild game fish
